How much does ChatGPT cost? A complete guide to the AI chatbot’s free, Plus, and Pro plans [Video]

ChatGPT, OpenAI’s versatile AI chatbot, has gone through multiple evolutions since its rapturous launch in November 2022.

Having started life as a writing assistant that could also code, ChatGPT has transformed into a multimodal powerhouse, with the ability to spout text, audio, and images. Soon, it will also be able to turn descriptions into stunning, ultra-realistic videos with the help of its sister AI model, Sora.

Along the way, however, ChatGPT has fragmented into three separate tiers. There’s the free version used by the majority of users, along with two subscription plans: ChatGPT Plus for $20 (£15.74) per month, and ChatGPT Pro for a whopping $200 (£157.37) per month. These come with perks like unrestricted, priority access and the latest features.

So, should you stick with the complimentary option or start paying for extra benefits? To help you decide, here’s a rundown of what you get with each plan.
